Will she unleash the wicked side of a gentleman?


Few men can resist the beautiful Miss Terrell, but Charles Gallant refuses to have his way with her.


Tempting though it would be, succumbing to Miss Terrell would be a disastrous mistake for Charles. He is standing for Parliament, and his chief supporter in the election is the wealthy and influential Sir Arthur, who wants Miss Terrell for his own.


Terrell cannot quell her scorching desire for Master Gallant, whose deft hand and command of rope bondage inflame her deepest, darkest cravings. She is intent on seducing Master Gallant.


But what price will they both pay if she succeeds…if she devastates his boundaries and unleashes the darker side of his command?


If you like epic romances with a lot of wicked heat, get Seducing the Master to scorch up your reading today!


Reader Advisory: This erotic historical romance contains dubious consent, BDSM, bondage, and themes of submission and dominance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full of surprises!
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2018

This book is an exceptional demonstration of true erotica (erotica is subtle, and triggers your imagination, unlike crude smut). The characters are complex and intriguing, and full of all sorts of surprises. You keep wanting to know more about them, while thoroughly enjoying their steamy sexual interests and how they express them. Definitely leaves you wanting more!

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay Erotica, but could have been more...
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2016
Verified Purchase
Beginning is weak, too many prior occurrences/ characters are mentioned without explanation or integration. In first chapter Master Gallant is conversing with Joan about training a newbie submissive. Apparently, before this point, he lost his heart to a Mistress Scarlett/Greta, then lost Greta to a man named Damien, and lost a bet with Joan over something to do with this Damien returning from somewhere....Which is why he is compelled to do Joan's bidding. The backstory does get filled in later in book, but there's just too much reference to these unexplained yet related events/ people at the onset.
I wanted to like the heroine, an exotic dark-skinned beauty with an unusual background. Unfortunately I found her unappealing. At first she is overly confident of her charms, at times arrogant about all the men who desire her "No man had ever proven immune..." When she asks herself, "What could be more compelling than the charms of Miss Terrell?", I wondered if she refers to herself in the third person because of her immense arrogance (Or is the author jumping between POV's.)?
Terrell continuously makes overt and sometimes obnoxious advances toward Gallant. When he resists, her confidence momentarily disappears- until the next time. She accosts the dominant Master, locks him in a room with her, gropes him and refuses to desist when commanded. Yet she insists that she is the perfect submissive for him. Frankly she seems more dominant than him.
The issue of racial prejudice is brought up several times and we get glimpses of the hurt and anger this causes the heroine. Unfortunately the author doesn't delve deeper which could have been an opportunity to elevate this book above the standard erotica that it is.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome historical erotica!
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2016

I very much enjoyed this book. As a woman of color who enjoys Regency romance, it's refreshing to find a black heroine in a story like this. The Red Chrysanthemum sounds like an amazing place, and I enjoyed reading about the various characters who live, work, and play there. I could tell there are many side stories woven into this one, and can see the author has books that seem spun off from these ... or maybe these are spun off from them. Either way, I plan to read them all, so I can get the full picture.

As a character, Charles Callant was everything you want in a Regency romance hero. Sexy, strong, and a dominant I wouldn't mind submitting to (and I'm not even the submissive type!). Terrell was complex and mysterious, I enjoyed hearing more about her as the story went on. As a duo, these two sizzled on the page, and I found myself unable to put this down until I could discover whether Miss Terrell would get what she wanted from Master Gallant.

I had only a few complaints. I did not like how Charles continued to refer to Terrell as 'the blackamoor' over and over again, even after he begins to care about her. It felt out of place to me that a man who is falling for a woman (which he so obviously is) would continue to refer to her in such a crude way. Almost as if he found her blackness off-putting in some ways, but of course was attracted to it in a sexual way. I also didn't like how her natural hair was described as unattractive in his eyes in the beginning. But later on, you never see evolution from that standpoint. I think if you're going to write about women of color, you have to careful about how they are portrayed. At times Terrell was a bit TOO hypersexual, a trait black women are stamped with far too often. Sometimes her features and hair were described in unflattering ways, or were overly eroticized. Things like her wide hips and big butt and thighs were compared to the white women of the establishment and made out to be objects to lust over, instead of being parts of her overall being. There were also a few parts where the pace lagged a bit, and paragraphs that could be skipped without losing the gist of the story, particularly the parts where the erotic novel was being read aloud.

However, by the time I got to about 70% on this story, I sped to the end because it had me so gripped, which is definitely the mark of a great writer. I have bought book 2 and can't wait to dive in, because I have to know what will happen next!

Em Brown always pleases.
The first book in the Master vs Temptress series, it is also quite connected to the Master vs Mistress series, all part of the Red Chrysanthemum Universe. A sexy story, Miss Terrell is determined to have what she should not and cannot, Master Gallant, by any means necessary. “No” is not a word in her vocabulary until it pleases her, and the determined Master Gallant has his own reasons for staying away.
This book is the first in the series, and does technically end on a cliffhanger. You feel both satisfied and wanting more.

2.0 out of 5 stars A rough read
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2016

Normally I have no problem finishing a book of this length in a few hours. I read this book for two days and eventually gave up. The main female character is a whiny brat who I grew to greatly dislike. Also the scenes that were meant to be erotic were somewhat on the boring side. I found the storyline hard to follow and that lead me to give up on finishing this book.

Ms. Brown once again weaves a titillating story of Master Charles Gallant and his time at the Inn of the Red Chrysanthemum. He is tasked with training a new bride, Lady Katherine, to be a submissive to her husband, Lord Wendlesson, who is a known Dom at the club. Ms. Terrell is a submissive whose submissive talents are bought by Sir Arthur, but her wanton desires lies to Master Gallant and tries several attempts to seduce him. I had to admire Miss Terrell for her mischievious ways provoking Master Gallant while he is emotionally torn between being honorable or giving in to his desires. I was drawn to this complex tale of bdsm and loved every word. I am looking forward to the next book. Lovely job, Ms. Brown

This was my first read from this author and to also read a period piece. I loved this story. Ms Terrell puts me off her as she is very blunt and speaks out of turn especially for someone who was a previous slave, you would of thought that as a former slave that you would be very cautious in your approach and that you would not be so brazen as to approach a white male Dom to have you're wicked way with you as your self esteem would of been knocked or being black that he would not desire you. Ms Terrell has a lot of gaul and affront. Rather her than me if I was in her position. Most definitely will look out for this author's future books. Well written and very intriguing.

Very Hot read. It's not your typical Bdsm romance. For a start both the hero and heroine work in a bawdy house. Very refreshing to read about a mixed relationship in those times.
